Blackhawk down !
A UH-60 Blackhawk crashed south of Rochester, NY last night (6:30 est). There were no survivors. 2 of the 3 dead were good friends of mine. What a gut punch.
RIP my brothers

VERY sorry to hear this! God's Speed! Keep your head up! Know people care about you and your friends!
Used to pray May we get to Heaven before the devil knows we're dead a bit of bravado to ease the mind

The best assignment I had in 22 years. Absolute top shelf people! I have maintained contact with many of them since we all went our separate ways. I would serve with them again at a moments notice anytime! They were kind enough to get me Knighted into the Order of Saint Michael. Never a good day when we lose someone from the Army Aviation community.
